"Cyber Activist" found dead
Virgil Butler worked for five years in one of Tyson Food’s Arkansas slaughterhouses as a chicken hanger before he turned animal activist. In testimony given via PETA in January 2003, he documented the horrific treatment of chickens that he witnessed at work. His testimony and ongoing website revelations resulted in a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times and many other presentations, “Inside Tyson’s Hell – Why I Got Out of the Chicken Slaughtering Business.”
I featured his blog "Cyber Activist, A slaughterhouse worker turned activist" as 'Blog of the Day' here on December 9, 2003. Now I read that he died on December 15, 2006. No other details are given. RIP, Virgil
